QUESTION:
A sample space consists of four sample points, where \(P(S_1)=.2,\ P(S_2)=.1,\ P(S_3)=.3,\ \text{and} P(S_4)=.4\).
a. Show that the sample points obey the two probability rules for a sample space.
b. If an event \(A=\{S_1,\ S_4\}\), find P(A).
ANSWER:Solution 91SE
Step1 of 3:
Let us consider a sample space consists of four sample points:
,
,
, and
.
Here our goal is:
a). We need to show that the sample points obey the two probability rules for a sample space.
b). If an event A = {S1, S4}, we need to find P(A).
